KANDAHAR, Mar 17 (AP): A suicide car bomber killed two Danish soldiers and three Afghan civilians in southern Afghanistan Monday, officials said.
The Danish army said two of its soldiers were killed in the attack in the Gereshk district of Helmand province. One soldier was also wounded.
Provincial police chief Mohammad Hussein Andiwal said the strike also killed three Afghans and wounded seven.
Maj. Gen. Poul Kiaerskou, head of the Danish Army Operational Command, said the Danes were part of a unit that had just arrived at a bazaar when "presumably" a suicide bomber killed them.
"It is incredibly tragic that our fight for peace and democracy again should cost human lives," said Pia Kjaersgaard, the leader of the nationalist and populist Danish People's Party, which is a key government ally.
